Agency records start as source rows

The stated process treats an agency item as a source record with agency, citation, jurisdiction, as-of date, source type, and text fields.

\text{agency source}\to\text{record fields}

Example agency record

40 C.F.R. part 70 is the toy CFR source label for the agency record.

\text{citation label is pinned}

The compiler recomputes token metadata

The model has 1 record and 13 recomputed body tokens.

\text{records}=1,\quad \text{tokens}=13

Diagram note

The diagram is a source-record table. It does not decide agency authority, program coverage, or compliance.

Summary

A regulatory data model should show the record fields before any search, flow, or review step uses them.
